Comic 398 - Sound Alive, Page 25

Author Notes:

Ughhh... Just before submitting this I find out I didn't do the dialog. Reminded why I started doing this before coloring rather than after since it's really a huge chore when done by itself.

So yeah, is this the first Daredevil effect we've had in a while? Feels like it. Martin sent me a GIF of a throw in wrestling and just told me to re-create it. Tried my best for it, really have been trying to make it clear that this fight really, really hurts.

Also, maybe it's because I've been watching a lot of Archer but can anyone else hear O'Hara having Malory's voice? I mean, she's certainly not as funny as Malory, but that insincere-as-fuck voice she has when she's trying to pretend she's a nice person? That's totally what I hear looking at all her speeches now.

... Damnit, was going to include a quote of her talking in that voice but can't find anything. All Youtube has are her insults.

Oh, right, I went back and edited in the improved version of the last page so Rin has his glasses and stubble again. Sorry, folks. ^^

So... Embarrassing problem with this page that led me to have to delete it then us to reupload it when Adam got back on. It happens I guess but still, yeah, that could've gone better.

But yeah, I dunno, not entirely happy with this page myself. I like how the throw came out, looks suitably brutal - main problem's the elbow and the catching thing. I had sort of a really specific visual in mind for how that happened and really wanted a lot more impact on it, but it didn't really come out that way at all. Should've storyboarded it, did so with next week's page and it came out really nicely for it.
